View Full Version : Best thing you ate today -- The Sequel
Credit goes to Yaseikhaan for reminding me of the original thread (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?85672-Best-thing-you-ate-today). I do believe it's time to revive it....
I myself had largely simple (but tasty) fare today. For lunch, I made myself a couple sandwiches: Pastrami and Marble Jack cheese with Miracle Whip on homemade wheat bread. For supper I had pot roast (complete with carrots & potatoes) prepared in the crock-pot by my roommate. Delicious! :2thumbsup:

I had spaghetti with venison meatballs for dinner. Was top notch.
Lamb steak and roast veggies, simple and delicious.

I had my blood test this morning and had to fast for the previous 12 hours. Being a diabetic makes this an unpleasant experience as my blood sugar plunges quite low. My reward: a large vanilla cappuccino & egg/sausage breakfast wrap from Tim Hortons.

A slice of buttered toast washed down with a cup of tea ahhhh

Like the sound of this :)
I went to a barbeque today but because the weather was so bad we just did everything in the oven, chocolate cake with buttercream was probably todays highlight.

Ramen and a couple granola bars. :/
I miss home cooking.
One medium sized wedge of gouda. <_<
I cooked a pasta dish that has: chicken, beef and an assortment of vegetables mixed together. Added caesar dressing and feta cheese to it and mix. It's num yummy. I added a hot pepper to the veggies and meat as I cooked it before adding the pasta, cheese and dressing. Provided a nice spice.
Home made hash browns (plus bacon and baked beans). :grin:
I love my slices of bread.
Probably sushi for today, it was more refreshing than the pizza i just had...

Made myself a tuna melt today. Tuna with mayo and a bit of spicy brown mustard on a toasted bagel with two slices of American cheese (we were out of cheddar). Still delicious.
Homemade gumbo soup. Not sure how authentic it was compared to what you'd get down in the bayou, but I sure liked it. :yes:
Pepper steak, similar to this minus the mushrooms.

Didn't come out exactly as i envisioned, but it still beats anything else I had - even second day.

Father's Day meal prepared by my step-daughter:
Fried Catfish
Hush Puppies
Cucumber Salad
Sliced Tomatoes
Iced Tea
= one happy Daddy:sunny:
Hush Puppies
I had to google that.
Other than being a dog or a shoemanufacturer, it is apparently just a ball of batter, which was used to "hush" dogs.

Pretty much, there's a local place here that sells fried cornbread in balls they call Hush Puppies. Quite good with the right sauce to compliment them. :yes:

A old Fish fry down the road used to sell them every Friday when I used to go (5 years ago???) tasted damn fine with fish.

Yes, fried cornmeal batter. I like it with a sweet chili dipping sauce. Looking for a nice quiet doggy acceptable to the parents, Beskar? ~:pat:

Haven't eaten today, but yesterday I had an absolutely fantastic burger from a bar. Far from the best burger I've ever had, but it was surprisingly good and tasty for DC (the burgers really suck around here.) Ate it with a side of deliciously crispy, meaty fries and a Yuengling from the tap.
Probably sushi for today, it was more refreshing than the pizza i just had...

I really wish that stuff wasn't so damn expensive, because it's my biggest weakness. It's not even my favorite food (that would have to be burgers) but I can't resist having some whenever I am offered, especially if it's just a plain tuna or salmon roll. Goddamn, I need to get some right now.

A salad with lettuce, bacon, croûton, chicken, and cheese. Simple, but delicious!
Nice salad for lunch but the orange peel short cookie for morning tea was the best thing so far.
Four eggs with leftover homemade marinara sauce and cheese. It was one of my better creations.
For supper tonight, I had grilled catfish with sauteed mushrooms, onions, and bell peppers. Yum!

Leftover cold pizza for breakfast. Do you realize how rare leftover pizza is in a household with teenagers & their friends?
That is pretty gresome, Tito. Stale food.
Ricetable + beer for breakfast, don't tell mommy.

Poppy cock!
Cold pizza, like aged wine & cheese is not stale, it's ambrosia. :toff:
We had a clam bake with roasted corn, washed down with plenty of cold beer yesterday. Nothing like slurping down clams on the half shell sprinkled with hot sauce, while waiting for the steamers to get done. Corn is best when roasted on the coals in it's own husk, rather than husked & boiled in water. I'm loving summer eats, despite a wee too much beer. Today is grilled tubesteak, club soda and soak in the pool day.

I had leftover pizza for yesterday's breakfast too; I couldn't manage it all the night before and I hate wasting food, so simply whacked the last two slices into the fridge and ate it the next morning. Cold pizza is one of the staples of the university student, along with cider and Pot Noodle. xD
As for the worst, it'd be the sand that inevitably got into my mouth; my job's out on the local beach, and there were strong forty-five knot winds out there, sand everywhere... ugh.
Secura loves her Pizza, everytime she comes to mine, she wants it. I think we should set her up with AskthePizzaGuy.
Cold pizza is the breakfast of extremely hungover champions. In my sinful youth I would take my friday pay, pick up a dozen bottles of beer and maybe a bottle of bourbon and walk around to my cousin's flat and order several enormous subrurban pizzas (the sort with a shag pile of "ham" piled on it so thick you could lose a hamster in it). Drink all night, head out for a dance about midnight and depending on how lucky we got wake up the next morning about 11 and start on the remaining pizza and beer (the whiskey never survived the night and its a little rough before midday).
On Sunday I made a nice lunch: Baked snapper, two kinds of mashed potatoes (one riced and strained with cream and milk, very french, the other with pumpkin and parnsip and saffron and oil and pepper, just rough mashed) and then pears poached in sherry with cinnamon and vanilla. The mashed potato endorphin buzz is still with me.

Ma made the best pulled pork sandwhiches I've had. Granted, its pulled pork, but it was still pretty solid. Also had some corn on cob and a salad.
I had Toad in the Hole for dinner.
For those gasping, it looks like this:

Dude...you are awesome.
I've had a somewhat nasty -- and annoyingly persistent -- cold the last several days. As a result, I've been going through chicken noodle soup (often supplemented by corned beef sandwiches ~D ) and orange juice like crazy.
Pancakes, for the second time in three days

A steak burrito deep fried and covered in salsa, guac, lettuce, and sour cream. An A&W rootbeer to wash it down.

Why are you shuddering? You're not standing behind me are you?
Seriously (and you can disregard anything I say or write if I don't put "seriously" in front of it) stews, sauces and currys often benefit from a maturing process.
Indian currys I mean, don't be leaving a Thaui curry overnight, its meant to be fresher than fresh.

Wholeheartedly agree. Currys and stews are much better on the second day. I often love eating a cold curry the next day. It's amazing the cool of the food mixed with the heat of the spices.
OT. I shall be eating octopuss later today. I believe it's a German one. :furious3:

Rump steak cut into strips, stir fried* in freshly ground black pepper and mustard seeds, with garlic and ginger (hand blended) and red sweet pepper and onion. Served on a bed of tagliatelle. Scrumpcious!
*The oil being 30% sesame and 70% extra virgin olive oil.

Having an Indian later when I get finished with work.
On Saturday (late I know but you know...) I fried a salmon fillet, served it up with mashed potatoes (bison) fresh peas and a fennel salad. Perfetto.
